Sans Other Obpe 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Allotrope' by Kostic, 'Beni' by Nois, 'Nd Tupa Nova' by Notdef Type, 'Fenix' by Storm Type Foundry, and 'Palo' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, block-built sans with tall rectangular proportions and aggressively simplified geometry. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely monolinear, with sharp corners and flat terminals throughout. Counters tend to be small and often rendered as narrow vertical slots or square cut-ins, giving many letters a carved, almost stencil-like internal structure. The overall rhythm is tight and mechanical, with occasional asymmetries and cutaway notches that add a constructed, modular feel in text.
Best suited for display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, album/club flyers, game or tech branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short signage or labels where a rugged, industrial flavor is desired. For longer copy, it performs best at larger sizes with generous spacing to counteract the dense texture.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display type, and hard-edged techno graphics. Its compressed silhouettes and cut-out counters create a confrontational, high-impact voice that reads as engineered rather than conversational. The texture in paragraphs feels dense and rhythmic, leaning toward a gritty, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a maximal, graphic silhouette with a modular, cut-out construction that stays consistent across cases and numerals. By minimizing curvature and relying on squared counters and notched joins, it aims for a distinctive, engineered look that holds up as bold typographic texture in branding and titles.
Several glyphs use inner slits and inset shapes rather than open bowls, which increases darkness and can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The design’s squared apertures and occasional notch details give it a distinctive “machined” personality that becomes more apparent in longer lines. Numerals match the same blocky construction and maintain strong uniformity with the uppercase.
